Wild Card Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Here is a small gem from my collection.←This has haunted me since I first saw it a few daysago. If I may - this pair can beat a full house.Congratulations!Wild Card
Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Much that was, is lost:[attachmentid=5156]Used to be mine (note the "Lippe Lawsuit" Medal 1897 version in 4th place)[attachmentid=5155]Close up of the double Lippe-Detmold NC pair and "white-black" EKPurged out the "boring" noncombatant stuff when I had my initial interest in Soviet 10 years ago.Oh, sure, I got Commie Gems then that aren't around NOW... but then neither are bars like these, wah! Waah!
Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Oh the humanity![attachmentid=5158]Above WAS once mine too!Oh, what a fuel wuzzI! And yet, saved THIS noncombatant Oldenburger below[attachmentid=5159][attachmentid=5160]And this one, to an African tropical diseases expert who died in China in 1900:[attachmentid=5161]And sometime in the 1980s, a dimwit split up the ribbon bar which became MINE from the medal bar, which shows what the exact ribboned awards were-- from the 2002 Siebentritt collection sale:[attachmentid=5162]Note that this guy was a civilian in BOTH wars, so no Hindenburg Cross!
Bob Hunter Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 Sooooooooo, what's the story with the "Lippe Lawsuit" Medal. It sounds very contemporary.
Stogieman Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Interesting Frack, Non-Combattant with "Widow/Survivor" Cross mounted
Stogieman Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 One of my all-time favorites!NC EK2, NC Brunswick EAK2
Stogieman Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Nice 3-Place... NC EK2, Honor Cross, No Swords, Prussian Reserve Landwehr XX Year Cross
Stogieman Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Tiniest NC EK2 Ribbon Bar in the whole world with matching bow!
Guest Rick Research Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Hmm. Obvious how much passes to us from the Evil Twin, innit? Still mine, because I love SETS:[attachmentid=5239]and Brunswick too, the "yellow-blue" ribbon reversed from normal combatant colors:[attachmentid=5238]
Guest Rick Research Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 A very nice set to an ex-career Bavarian military Beamter:[attachmentid=5241]And some Red Cross-ish related ribbon bars. The Top four has incorrectly placed the Prussian Red Cross Medal before the Hindenburg Cross, and adds mystery to the mix with the Mecklenburg and Hessian ribbons. This is a LATE Godet, typical chracteristic gray backing and brass hinge. In the middle, a double Prussian Red Cross and finally an eerily familiar "tiny" that was probably actually worn as a civilian suit lapel rack. Where HAVE I seen this before?[attachmentid=5242]
landsknechte Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 A group shot!←A certain ribbon bar in there looks awfully familiar...
